but i agree with you wilogical science is interesting. san diego where we're based is a focussal point. we have telecom there because of us and other companies companies and we have great sciences because of a number of places really world class in life sciences. one of the projects we have a very far-out project we have in our lab came out of neurosciences institute in la jolla as well where some scientists figured out how to build a model of the neuron that's computational very efficient, meaning you can do this. >> rose: work the model of the neuron. >> and we put them together and create a retina and create the cells that go behind a retina and if i show it a picture it says that's interesting it's not interesting, and it can follow things around. we didn't program it. we just taught it. it's very fascinating and it works the way your rain works. the neuron sends a little spike and it trastles a certain amount of time and gets to the next neuron and there are spikes that all come together and when they add up another spike comes out.

to assess safety, so not old science but new science, would seek to protect vulnerable populations like we talked about way back when, right, prenatally and in pregnancy, those ones that are maybe more vulnerable to chemical exposures and also to reduce exposures in communities with unfair burden of exposures, we know that very often, poor communities, communities of color, communities with less resources are exposed to higher levels of chemicals so we have to reduce that unfair burden because they already have enough unfair burden, so that calls for some comprehensive changes and we want to see those happen. the senate is not likely to reconvene and vote on this bill because we are winding down of course with this legislative session and this particular administration in terms of senates turning over, they're all -- most of them are up for re-election, house is turning over -- about half of them are up for re-election and of course presidential election as well, and so it is very likely of course that this will be reintroduced after all of those changes take effect and hopefully we'll
